looking for a 68 cutlass convert project car i can do with my daughter

 

Can you be more specific? How much are you willing to spend versus how much work do you want to actually do yourself, and how far and wide are you willing to travel to get the car?


For example, here's one in Florida that certainly needs work, but it looks quite savable.

im really not sure what i'd spend or how much im willing to restore i just found this site last night, i do know distance is not a factor ill travel anywhere...thx for the help

 

To this day I regret sell my 68 convertible project. I haven't seen any posted recently, but the following link might give you an idea want price would get you whatever condition...

Always Nice to see another jersey boy... I am in South River ( exit 9 on tpke LOL)


just a word of advice I am currently doing a 69, start with the best car you can afford, the mechanical work is fairly straight forward, the body work, quarters etc is where things run into big money, we are far away from the days of yore when you could sparay several coats of lacquer in the garage and just vacuum up the dust....

and another thing it is easy to get put off a resto when you start uncovering all kinds of crap that needs repalcing as no real parts exist ( body wise) no full quarters, no door skins etc

but a father daughter project is cool, ( i have one myself :-) )

 

thanks for the 411.... i will use this advice. im hoping by mid year to actually purchase a 68 project.i helped my dad restore his in the 80s . i wish now hed have never sold it, he bought it new in 68 for 3500$.

 

She was mine, and I sold her Friday night. I appreciate the upload here for greater exposure.

Another Olds family in Millville is just OUTSTANDING!! Welcome to the site. I purchased a 68 vert 2 summers ago for a project that hasn't been started yet but I'm collecting parts first so once I get started I won't have to stop. Good luck in you hunt.

Found this not to far from me. I could check it out if you want.

Wow, that doesn't look to bad at all

 

IN PERSON INSPECTION before full payment is made
have a list reader help if needed

A friend of mine bought a "nice looking" '69 convert off ebay

painted over rot

ended up needing THE FRAME, which I had
THE ENTIRE FLOOR, which I had

and 1000 other things.

Only the smogger 455 was really good

Which later became a 4-spd 425 disguised as a 350 anyhow.

Major bodywork $$$ and after we did all the metal replacement.
